Both ends are riveted to a short piece of the samematerial, and in such a way that the centres work true and easy. These piecesare again fixed into a flat plate which is prepared for screwing into the sliderand flap as shown. To obtain the length of the bar, pull out the slider to therequired distance, in this case about one-third of its whole length, take half thatdistance from the bottom edge of the flap to the centre of the bar, and then fromthat point to the back end of the slider is the length of the brass bar, allowingfor the plate. When this movement is used the solid shelf is not carried rightthrough, or it is cut short at both ends to make a passage for the flange to work.The pigeon-hole case is made short and the filling-in piece cut to allow for thebar.
